Name resolution about gccrs HOT 12 CLOSED

@bjorn3 nice to know it, however, -Z seems only for nightly.

@philberty If you just want to output the current result to a file with an option, I think it's just a few lines code. It's possible to refactor the current dump framework to support multiple dump format, and even for a different stage of the pipeline, but I don't think it's our current work. Anyway it's a good idea to add to TODO.

Did you forget to close this?

• Traverse AST top-down and resolve every encountered name.
• The situation that new scope should be added:
  • A block enclosing with curly braces
  • Let binding
  • Hygiene macro
• The rustc introduced a concept of Ribs to include all these kinds of scopes. Each Ribs maintain its own stack for storing the scopes. I think this can be implemented by a base class Scope. Maybe we don't have to reinvent a new concept.
• These items have their own namespace, so the identifier is NOT unique among them:
  • Types
  • Values
  • Macros.

The RFC for the current name resolution is: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1560-name-resolution.md

Oh nice! That's what we need, I googled an obsoleted result. Thanks!

I think we should also add an option to dump the AST after the resolution, for debugging the resolution.

I agree we can reuse the same command line option and i think dumping to file would be really helpful aswell lets makea new issue to dump to file instead of console

Rustc has several versions of this: rustc -Zunpretty=help

The resolution relies on macro expansion, so I'm starting to work on macros parallelly. #17

Sorry for the closed issues i wanted to see if tagging commits linked them to issues but it seems to just close them instead

Closing this as there is documentation available over on the wiki for name resolution

from gccrs.

Thanks, Again we are following rustc more documentation will be added to the wiki over time. See -frust-dump-all for debug outputs and this diagram.
